Mondays September 23 - December 9th

7-7:30pm

Flamenco rhythm circle - all levels, musicians & dancers welcome

Join us for a flamenco rhythm circle that will focus on the rhythm of bulerias and the community and improvisation of flamenco. We’ll play palmas (rhythmic handclaps), mark the groove with our full body, do call and response segments, and sing letras. It’s a great way to warm-up for the next class or as a stand alone to build your understanding of flamenco’s rhythms. The class will follow as show/do model as opposed to discussion/lecture.

$5/drop in

$50/12 classes, including zoom recordings

7:30 - 9pm

Mixed-level flamenco technique and repertory:
